I noticed we don't have a thread for this one, so I'm adding it...[Linked Image]

Dave has updated this one several times in the last month, so if you have it installed, it's a good idea to go over your code for bug-fixes.

This mod allows your admin or moderator to temporarily or permanently "bump" a thread to the top of a forum.

This mod has two minor problems:



    [*]When you bump a thread and you have the latest Reply By mod installed, the UBB main page will display the incorrect username. It will show the correct last reply timestamp but not the username.

    [*]If you go to the Control Panel/General Settings and let it save with the Update threads/timestamp checkbox selected, the Last Timestamp will be for the bumped thread which may not be the latest in the first place.


Btw, the Bump feature on this board seems to allow ANYONE to bump a thread. It must be a bug.

Is it work at 5.47c too? i see this forum can be use this hack but i got error on it @@

the ubb_libery.pl got error in it ... after did this step
REPLACE that with:
---------------------------------------------------
if ($checkit[1] eq "$threadnum") {
if ($openclose eq "open") {
$checkit[6] =~ s/X//isg;
} else {
if ($itWasMoved eq 'yes') { $checkit[6] = "Y$checkit[6]";
} elsif ($openclose eq "close") {
$checkit[6] = "X$checkit[6]";
} elsif ($openclose eq "top") {
$length = $in{'length'};
if (($TimeZoneOffset ne "") || ($TimeZoneOffset ne "0")) {
$adjustTime = time() + ($TimeZoneOffset * 3600);
} else { $adjustTime = time(); }
($sec,$min,$hour,$mday,$mon,$year,$wday,$yday,$isdst) =
localtime($adjustTime);
$year = $year +1900;
if ($length eq "perm") { $year = $year + 10; }
$mon++;
$JulianDate = &jday($mon, $mday, $year);
$Time = ("$hour" . "$min");
$JulianTime = ($JulianDate + ($Time * 0.0001));
$JulianTime = sprintf("%7.4f", $JulianTime);
$JulianTime =~ tr/ /0/;
$checkit[0] = $JulianTime;
} else {
$year = substr($checkit[5],0,4);
$mon = substr($checkit[5],4,2);
$mday = substr($checkit[5],6,2);
$hour = substr($checkit[5],8,2);
$min = substr($checkit[5],10,2);
$JulianDate = &jday($mon, $mday, $year);
$Time = ("$hour" . "$min");
$JulianTime = ($JulianDate + ($Time * 0.0001));
$JulianTime = sprintf("%7.4f", $JulianTime);
$JulianTime =~ tr/ /0/;
$checkit[0] = $JulianTime;
}

then error will be occcur. Is there any new fixed version? THX

When I delete the first non bumped Thread in the Forum the Last Post Time in Ultimate.cgi isn't update anymore!
I don't have the Last Post by in Ultimate.cgi installed, just the normal Latest Post Time...

Please help me, i'm trying for weeks now and dont have an idea what to change [Linked Image]

Im using 5.47d since a few days, and now when i move a Thread to a forum with a bumped thread the latest time ist the time from the bumped thread [Linked Image]
With 5.45c there was this just the Problem with the delete first topic, this would maybe just be a problem in update the last time file but i dont have any idea how to do that.

greets, cRackY

There are a few bugs in this script, especially if you have "latest reply by in Ultimate.cgi". You forum will slow to a crawl if someone permanently bumps a thread, it happens here. I really would not recommend installing this until it is updated/ fixed. The last fix was supposed to help, but it doesn't seem to.

Thanks,

I wasn't too sure if it would make a difference as the lines were commented on my file. I'll give it a go... the worst that could happen is that I have to restore my files right?

Hi there. I have this hack installed on my 5.47d and it works perfectly, even with the 'Last Post By' hack in ultimate.cgi. The bug fix for the 'Last Post By' works. The bumped thread does not show in 'Last Post By'; only the 'real' last post does.

I would just like to say, I have used a lot of hacks from this UBB, and sincerely thank all of the people here who make these hacks possible! They really do add a lot to the V5 boards.

Thanks!
Dave

I just installed this hack yesterday and it slowed my forum (with over 500,000 messages) down to a crawl. Deleting or moving threads became completely impossible. I had a look at their code and found some code that was a bit (without trying to belittle the efforts of the original coder) not-so-efficient programming.

In my case which so many messages, it took about 20 minutes to close/move/delete a thread, causing the browser to time out and the cgi-script to fail. I've made a few changes that brought this 20 minutes down to 0.6 seconds (yes, less than a second).

Since this is an old hack, and I'm not sure anyone is still using it, let me know if you're interested in the fix and I'll post it here.

Sure!!! Post it here. Prefer a link to a .txt file instead of putting all the code into a message.

That is what this place is all about...happy to see the variation myself!!!

I'll post it here since it's a small change. Change this in the files that already contain the changes for the Sticky Hacl.

In ubb_library.pl, sub ForumSummary:

Find:
-----------------
@threadsum = &OpenFile("$ForumsPath/$ExactPath/forum$thisnumber.threads");

Replace with:
-----------------
open( THREADS, "$ForumsPath/$ExactPath/forum$thisnumber.threads" );
while( ) {
$line = $_;
chomp( $line ); # not necessary, but always good practice.
@fields = split( /|^|/, $line );
$threadsum{$fields[1]} = $line;
}
close( THREADS );

Find:
-----------------
@tmpitemline = grep{/|^|$tmpthreadnum|^|/} @threadsum; #C
@tmpstats = split(/|^|/,$tmpitemline[0]);

Replace with:
-----------------
@tmpstats = split(/|^|/,$threadsum{$tmpthreadnum});


That's it! This will get rid of the incredible time-consuming "grep", not to mention "grep" will generate an error if a topic-title contains more than 3 question marks in a row.

The original loop with the grep took about 20 minutes going through 7000 threads. If you make the above change, it will take about 0.5s.

Enjoy the new and improved Sticky Threads!

Thanks Dr_C, Ive got this hack on my board, and Ive noticied that on my larger forums, it can take a substantial amount of time to move/delete a post thread. Although I was unable to diagnose the cause of the problem myself. Im going to make the changes you suggested and hopefully it will remedy my problem also
Cheers

I have just installed this hack on my version 5.45c...when I make a thread "sticky" it deletes the thread! Whether I make it temporary or permanent...anyone have any ideas why?

Actually...it doesn't delete the thread, it just makes it invisible...

The only way I can see the thread is if I do a search for it. ???

Anyone know why?
